Famous quotes containing the words special and/or honors:

    “We’ve got to figure these things a little bit different than most people. Y’know, there’s something about going out in a plane that beats any other way.... A guy that washes out at the controls of his own ship, well, he goes down doing the thing that he loved the best. It seems to me that that’s a very special way to die.”
    —Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    “There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
